Hip-hop superstar Jay Z is bringing his "Magna Carter" world tour here for a Dec. 7 show at Valley View Casino Center (formerly the San Diego Sports Arena). His concert here will be the fifth on the tour's North American tour, which starts Nov. 30 in Minnesota and concludes Jan. 31 in Pennsylvania. That's good news for fans who may be disappointed that fellow hip-hop superstar (and Jay-Z recording and tour partner) Kanye West will be skipping San Diego on his "Yeezus" tour, which does include an Oct. 26 date at the Staples Center in Angeles.

Jay Z's tour takes its name from the title of his latest album "Magna Carter...Holy Grail" and from his legal name, Shawn Carter. His San Diego performance will be his first here since he changed his stage name from Jay-Z to the hyphen-free Jay Z.

As of this writing, his San Diego tour date is not yet listed on the web sites for Valley View Casino Center or Ticketmaster, which will sell tickets for all 34 dates on his tour. But his Valley View Casino Center show is included in a press release issued this morning by Live Nation, the tour's promoter.

Tickets to the general public for all tour dates, including San Diego, are set to go on sale at 7 a.m. California time on Sept. 12. Prices for Jay Z's show here have yet to be announced, but range from $31 to $147 each, plus service charges, for his Fresno concert, which may give an indication of what prices will be here.

A number of presale options will also be available.

Beginning today, concertgoers can RSVP via Facebook for early access to presale tickets that will be available on Wednesday, September 11th. Citi card members will have access to presale tickets starting Monday at 10 a.m. through Citi's Private Pass Program.

Those aren't the only options.

Live Nation mobile app users will have access to presale tickets beginning Wednesday. Mobile users can text “LNAPP” OR 404040 to download the Live Nation mobile app, which is available for iOS and Android (but not, sadly, my brand new Etch-a-Sketch.) All presales will end at 10 p.m. Wednesday.
